In addition to higher productivity and efficiency, high-performance work systems may also include what other outcomes?

This attitude reflects ageism.
It is a type of discrimination based on somebody's age - even though Susan is more experienced than her young daughter when it comes to this job, Beverly got the job because she is younger. So, Susan has been discriminated against because she is way older than Beverly.

An author just signed a lucrative contract with a publisher that offers to pay her the amount of $500 at the end of year 9 when

solong [7]

Answer:

Ans. The annuity that will be equivalent to the publisher´s advance would be $26.40 per year, for 9 years at 7% interest rate.

Explanation:

Hi, first, let´s bring that $500 to be paid in 9 years to present value, we need to use the following formula.

$PresentValue=\frac{FutureValue}{(1+r)^{n} }$

Where: r is our discount rate (7%) and n the periods from now when she will receive that $500 amount. This should look like this.

$PresentValue=\frac{500}{(1+0.07)^{9} } =271.97$

Ok, so the equivalent amount of money today of those $500 in nine years is $271.97, but the author wants $100 today so the remaining amount has to be used to find the equal annual payments to be made in order to be equivalent to re remaining balance ($171.97). We now need to use the following equation.

$Present Value=\frac{A((1+r)^{n}-1 )}{r(1+r)^{n} }$

And we solve for "A" like this

$171.97=\frac{A((1+0.07)^{9}-1 )}{0.07(1+0.07)^{9} }$

$171.97=\frac{A(0.838459212 )}{0.128692145}$

$171.97=A(6.515232249)$

$A=\frac{171.97}{6.515232249} = 26.40$

Therefore, the equivalent amount of money of $500 in 9 years is $100 today and $26.40 every year, at the end of the year, for nine years.

Best of luck.

Serggg [28]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation.

The Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is an NGO that oversees the formulation of the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) does the same as well and is also an NGO.

The difference between the above 2 is that the whilst the GASB caters for Government organisations, the FASB caters for private Organizations.

Classifying the above we have,

1. Patents are classified as capital assets. GASB STANDARD.

2. Sidewalks are classified as land improvements. FASB STANDARD

3. Revenues and expenses must be categorized as operating and nonoperating. GASB STANDARD.

4. Tuition and fees must be shown net of any estimated uncollectible amounts. Both a GASB and an FASB STANDARD.

5. Expenses must be reported by program and support (management and general, and fund-raising) function classifications. FASB STANDARD.

6. Statement of cash flows must be prepared using the direct method. GASB STANDARD.

7. The purchase of a building is reported as an investing activity on the statement of cash flows. FASB STANDARD.

8. The receipt of student deposits for housing is reported as a liability, Deposits Held in Custody for Others. Both GASB and an FASB STANDARD.

9. The cash from a debt issuance is reported in the capital and related financing activities section on the statement of cash flows. GASB STANDARD.
